in the news baltic dry index chart? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader shows the dry index chart here, you can see that its turned a bit, and that could mean a bit of trouble for the market, we are not here to say PANIC, but the macd [or the lower indicator on the chart has turn south] which means the baltic dry index has topped out for now. Since 2016 you can see that the major uptrend line has been holding quite well. So this is most likely to continue as we go along.

Wednesday's pullback in Netflix should have investors scrambling to buy the stock.Netflix shares did dip less than 1 percent in early Wednesday trading, its first down day in the past five.Once this chart breaks out, it might be smart to buy dips, as the rectangle channel has now broken out. The first thing is we can note is that the consolidation that lasted through feb, march, april, has now been cut to the upside, so The "bottom" of that rally was $110, with the top of the rally at around $142, a $32 could be a move forward in the right direction! Here is the chart. This is quite interesting.

in the news Stock market to melt up in 2017? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------A group of astute analysts say that stocks and commodities could melt up in 2017. And if that was to occur it could lead to a meltdown in 2018. The current melt up started in about 2015 back at the start of February, and they do expect there to be a bit of a correct before we see another leg up higher. They do explain that the stock market right now is in what could be called a eighth innings of a nine innings move. This can be lethal, and leave investors behind, but it can also create panic and a bit rounding top pattern latter on. There really is not reason to panic just yet, but this bull market seems to just keep chugging along without a care in the world. The reason melt up continues is that you get lots of novice investors who decide they are going to miss out and hop in, like lemmings one after the other. There could be some choppy periods in the meantime. BofA's year-end target for the S&P 500 is 2,300. It was just 30 points below that Monday.It could be very rough and treacherous waters when Donald trump gets into the whitehouse. NO one knows what he is going to do. You have a businessman, who has never been in politics or the whitehouse running a country. That thought has investors very panicked and slightly on edge. The positive sign to that coin is that he is going to fix real estate, after the sub prime mess, and he is going to boost fiscal spending and pump money into infrastructure and jobs. All the while he is going to keep the cheap jobs out of America. Will that work? We do not know, but we will soon find out. That is probably going to be a positive for companies on the U.S. shore. And if that is going to be positive for them, and earnings go up, that means the stock market is likely to go up alongside it. A lot of the bigger hedges funds that did well in 2016 are positioned for the market to go up to new highs. Yet, the main concern with their constituents is that the stock market at the end of 2016, when trump won the elections, went up too high and too fast. As soon as trump gets in, we will find out if he wants to play with the big boys, or just cry and tweet all day long. At the end of the day, investors like the notion of a TRUMP led country, especially those in the financial and loans industries. If that can get the boost they need, that will only start to spill over into other areas, and be quite modest for investors and the stock market.

in the news North Korea says it's poised to strike US aircraft carrier? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader saw on Sunday north korea was ready to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier to demonstrate its military might, as two Japanese navy ships joined a U.S. carrier group for exercises in the western Pacific.U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group to sail to waters off the Korean peninsula in response to rising tension over the North's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies.The United States has not specified where the carrier strike group is as it approaches the area. U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday it would arrive "within days" but gave no other details.North Korea remained defiant.

"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a U.S. nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in a commentary.The paper likened the aircraft carrier to a "gross animal" and said a strike on it would be "an actual example to show our military's force."The commentary was carried on page three of the newspaper, after a two-page feature about leader Kim Jong Un inspecting a pig farm.North Korea will mark the 85th anniversary of the foundation of its Korean People's Army on Tuesday. It has in the past marked important anniversaries with tests of its weapons. North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests, two of them last year, and is working to develop nuclear-tipped missiles that can reach the United States.It has also carried out a series of ballistic missile tests in defiance of United Nations sanctions.

North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threat is perhaps the most serious security challenge confronting Trump. He has vowed to prevent the North from being able to hit the United States with a nuclear missile and has said all options are on the table, including a military strike.North Korea says its nuclear program is for self-defense and has warned the United States of a nuclear attack in response to any aggression. It has also threatened to lay waste to South Korea and Japan.U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Friday North Korea's recent statements were provocative but had proven to be hollow in the past and should not be trusted."We've all come to hear their words repeatedly, their word has not proven honest," Mattis told a news conference in Tel Aviv, before the latest threat to the aircraft carrier. Japan's show of naval force reflects growing concern that North Korea could strike it with nuclear or chemical warheads.Some Japanese ruling party lawmakers are urging Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to acquire strike weapons that could hit North Korean missile forces before any imminent attack. Japan's navy, which is mostly a destroyer fleet, is the second largest in Asia after China's.The two Japanese warships, the Samidare and Ashigara, left western Japan on Friday to join the Carl Vinson and will "practice a variety of tactics" with the U.S. strike group, the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force said in a statement.The Japanese force did not specify where the exercises were taking place but by Sunday the destroyers could have reached an area 2,500 km (1,500 miles) south of Japan, which would be waters east of the Philippines.From there, it could take three days to reach waters off the Korean peninsula. Japan's ships would accompany the Carl Vinson north at least into the East China Sea, a source with knowledge of the plan said.U.S. and South Korean officials have been saying for weeks that the North could soon stage another nuclear test, something the United States, China and others have warned against. South Korea has put is forces on heightened alert.China, North Korea's sole major ally which nevertheless opposes Pyongyang's weapons programmes and belligerence, has appealed for calm. The United States has called on China to do more to help defuse the tension.Last Thursday, Trump praised Chinese efforts to rein in "the menace of North Korea", after North Korean state media warned the United States of a "super-mighty preemptive strike.

War Is Hell—but Not for The Stock Market? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader saw something interesting in that The stock market tends to rally whenever the U.S. begins military operations overseas.Does that mean that investors prefer war? Not exactly. But they positively abhor uncertainty, and that’s what typically characterizes the market environment in the weeks prior to the U.S. military becoming involved in a foreign military operation.Much of that uncertainty gets resolved soon after U.S.-led hostilities begin, and that’s why the stock market typically soars in response.This interaction between the stock market and uncertainty is key to understanding what’s going on now, with the markets struggling over the past couple of weeks in reaction to U.S. saber-rattling directed at North Korea and Syria. The Dow Industrials are 2.6% below where they stood on March 6, which is when North Korea launched four missiles into the Sea of Japan.That uncertainty appeared to lessen this past weekend with the failed North Korean missile launch, though it quickly returned: Vice President Mike Pence said in a speech in South Korea that the era of “strategic patience” with North Korea was over, and a White House official was quoted to the effect that Trump was considering a “kinetic” action—including a sudden strike—against that country.

On average over the month prior to the beginning of these seven events, the Dow fell 0.6%, or 1.4 percentage points lower than the average of all months since 1983 (see chart). But this underperformance was quickly reversed: In the month after the U.S. military entered a conflict, the Dow soared an average 4.0%—3.2 percentage points greater than the average of all months since 1983.. This is quite interesting.

This appears to have been a factor during the 2001 war in Afghanistan, which began less than a month after the Sept. 11 attacks. Even though the Dow had fallen more than 8% over the month before that war began, and even though that war took place during the 2000-2002 bear market and the associated deflation of the dot-com bubble, the Dow still gained 11.9% over the six months following the beginning of that war.We aren’t aware of any particular sector bets that might make sense as a way of exploiting the market’s tendency to perform well when the U.S. military becomes engaged in foreign operations. Insofar as lower volatility is the underlying cause, then we should expect to see that improved performance throughout the market’s various sectors and investing styles. This would be why, for example, both large- and small-cap stocks experienced improved performance.An important qualification is in order. Notice, for example, that each of the past military operations on which we base our analysis were discrete events with well-defined beginning dates. My findings would not apply to more diffuse military operations that are long, drawn-out, and often conducted in secret—such as the so-called War on Terror.If the U.S. response to North Korea follows such a pattern, then investors shouldn’t bet on any particular stock market reaction one way or another.DON'T MISS OUT ON OUR HOTTEST updates Click the link below....

Is The bull market coming to an end? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader After the US election and Donald Trump getting elected, and investors watching the market skyrocket to new highs in a matter of weeks. Is this all just a false rally? And is the bull market finally coming to an end? These are very interesting questions. We have just witnessed a rally we have not seen in over 40 years. Its quite historical. Mix that with the stock market, very close to the 20,000 level on the DOW, a level many top wall st traders say is a very psychological level. The Stock market is not the only huge rally we are seeing, the US dollar is up 20% in a few months, after the fed decided to hike interest rates by a quarter point, and upped its forecast for the 3 hikes in 2017. That means, we could be looking at the very beginning of interest rates lows, and before we start to see the fed hike rates over the next few years.

Many top analysts feel that stock traders have been looking over the shoulders recently at bond yields, fearing bond devils run rates up so much that the stock market gains are now going to be choked off. Still even though the stock market has had a few down days, the momentum still seems to be on the upside. It seems buying momentum has not slowed down at all. The market may be on the move, but some strategists on wall st are saying this Trump rally is getting a little bit long in the tooth, and telling their members that stocks cannot keep going up in a straight line for months on end. Eventually we have to pause or even seeing some sort of correction. Let’s be honest, that the speed of this rally on the stock market has not only been historical, it’s been a little surprising. So in a way, there are certainly risks to the upside when you look at the stock market, and where have come from, and where we are right now. It’s probably much better to wait until Donald Trump is sitting in his chair in the Whitehouse giving orders, and to see how some of his fiscal policies are going to be implemented in 2017.

If Donald Trump cannot deliver on some of his promises, this is not only going to be very bad, it’s going make investors feel uncertain, and when investors get nervous and feel uncertain about the economy or the stock market, that is usually a clear sign they will want to sell, and it will obviously put a stop to the current bull market rally. So at this stage of the race, its probably a wise move not to get excited here. Normally when people get excited and start selling their house, car and kids to get long the market, that is a sign they are too late to the party, and you might want to take notice of this too, so you do not get caught up in too much of the hype yourself.

in the news Marijuana Penny Stocks Expected to Soar ? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader Since Obama has been president we have been seeing a lot of controversy over some of the Marijuana Penny Stocks Expected to Soar in the next 24 months. Sure there are people getting high, and wasting their life on this drug. But you have to remember this is a herb, like any other herb and due to the rapid development in technology scientists have actually accidentally discovered the purities and power of this drug for the cure of medical conditions, cancer, ADHD, and other diseases. Its quite powerful, and uncanny at the same time.

I mean, on one hand, here you have a drug destroying the lives of normal everyday people. They smoke this drug and feel its effects shorter and longer term. But then on the other hand, you have people born with serious diseases and this does nothing more than help and cure them of their ailments. Its quite interesting how it works in todays day and age, but lets think about the positives here, and the possibilities. Of course with any drug, many people are just going to be negative, but when you become an investor and want to find hot trends, and ride the coat tails before anyone else. These are the sorts of things you need to look for. So there are many smarter investors right now riding these so call ‘Green Trends’ and the funny thing is, its probably only just getting started. What we want to do is talk about one drug MJNA. Medical Marijuana, Inc. engages in the provision of various business management solutions to the hemp and medical marijuana industries in the U.S. It comprised of a diversified portfolio of products, services, technology and businesses solely focused on the cannabis and hemp industries.

They also investigate some of the legal avenues they can take to increase awareness and increase the technologies to enhance their current finding about marijuana and give their opinions about where the industry is heading and their conclusively investigate the future trends and predictions to only make and help the industry grow at rapid rates with patients in mind. I do not have to ramble on, in this article, because I will let the chart do all the talking. Look up MJNA - why? because this is getting big, and the govt are finally caving in to seeing the huge possibilities of cannabis and its healing properties! This could SOAR!. This is quite interesting.

What is the impact of the tense china and north korea - tense china and north korea on global markets?

Well we can confirm that some of the FINANCIAL SECRETS that are coming out, about people are making investors think twice about the CHINA IN CHINA!

Charts never lie, and you can see after today, that the STOCK MARKET IN CHINA really starting to look good. Here is the chart below........ Perhaps investors are starting to wake up to the FACT that china is wanting to become the next STRONG HOLD and LEADER of the GLOBAL worlds, and people are wanting to cash in!!.

The WEEKLY CHART of the STOCK MARKET IN CHINA, shows alot.....clearly shows a breakout pattern, and you can see that there is a target of about 19, so 10% higher!!!. This is quite interesting, have a look at the chart below. Looks like a breakout of an ASCENDING TRIANGLE. :-)

So what the implications of the tensions this market [CHINA STOCK MARKET]. The short answer is I don't know, but there are several implications for the markets that need to be considered.

1) A NUKE TO BE FIRED at the US. Like crazy boy KIM JONG UN is talking about? That could start and all out war....2) Donald trump pushing the all out RED button. We were close with Cuban missile crisis, but i the end that will not happen. But with trump there is more of a chance....he has friends in high places, especially in the military, and they are all urging him to push any button put in front of him. 3) There seems to be power struggles going on right now, That would mean that ultimately, no one will be able to submit!!! China thinks they are the leader, so does the US, and with a crazy boy now running KOREA, all he was to do is show his sword and grit his teeth. So we expect trade deals to get thrown out the window soon!!!.

in the news tips for a beginner stock trader? What this all about..... See below. ------------------------------Sentiment Trader today shows some secret tips for a beginner stock trader.Investing in the stock market can prove to be one of the most rewarding things you could ever do. Just look at Warren Buffet. Over the course of several years he was able to turn himself into one of the most successful investors in the world. What most people fail to realize is Warren Buffet did not become a successful investor overnight. As a matter of fact, according to BusinessInsider.com, Buffet made 99% of his wealth after the age of 50.With that being said, let’s dive right in and talk about the 4 investment success tips for the complete beginner. #1 - Be PatientBecoming a successful trader takes time. And while there are numerous courses and guides that can help you cut your learning curve in half, at the end of the day experience is still the best teacher. So be patient. Eventually your investments will start to pay off. #2 - Be Prepared To Take Some LossesIdeally you would want to make a profit on every trade you make. Realistically however that won’t happen. There will be good days and there will be bad days. Make sure you are prepared to take some losses. In part two of this guide we will talk about stop loss orders and how to use them to minimize your losses.

#3 - Pick The Right BrokerageAs an investor the broker you choose to work with will play a huge role in your overall success. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure you are working with a reputable broker. Do your research and make sure they have a good track record. Some of the top brokers that offer you the best value for your portfolio include TD Ameritrade, TradeKing, Fidelity and E-Trade. #4 - Never Get Emotionally Involved As a trader you must leave your emotions at the door. The absolute worst thing you can do is get emotionally involved with the stocks you are trading. When you trade based on emotions rather than analytics, you will almost always find yourself on the losing end of the spectrum.Before you make your first trade take the time to write out a set of buying and selling rules you will follow. It is very important you stick with these rules for every trade you make and avoid allowing your emotions to get in the way. As you become more experienced you can adjust the rules to better suit your trading style.
